Durolane® is a single-injection hyaluronic acid treatment designed to help relieve pain and improve joint movement in people with osteoarthritis. Acting as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint, it can reduce stiffness and support smoother movement when natural joint fluid has diminished.
It is commonly used for knee osteoarthritis but may also be suitable for other joints, including the hip, shoulder, and ankle, following a clinical assessment.
Healthy joints contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in synovial fluid that cushions and lubricates movement. In joints affected by osteoarthritis, the quality and quantity of this fluid can reduce, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

It may be suitable for:
Not everyone experiencing joint pain requires an injection. During your consultation, we'll assess your symptoms, medical history, and imaging (where available) to determine whether Durolane® is the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Your clinician may recommend an alternative treatment if it's likely to provide a better outcome.
Durolane® injections are performed by experienced clinicians, often using ultrasound guidance to improve accuracy and target the affected joint. Your appointment typically includes:
The procedure usually takes around 20-30 minutes, and most patients return home shortly afterwards.
Durolane® provides a non-surgical option for managing osteoarthritis and improving everyday movement.
Most people can return to light daily activities shortly after treatment. Your clinician may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or high-impact activities for the first 24-48 hours to allow the joint to settle.
Recovery varies depending on the joint treated and your individual condition. Some people notice improvement within a few days, while others experience gradual benefits over several weeks.
